Nick from StickTwiddlers takes a look at the latest DmC gameplay to see what the controversial title from Capcom and Ninja Theory is offering.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5
2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them
2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.
God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Devil May Cry 5, the latest iteration in the iconic DMC franchise by Capcom, still holds its own as a fantastic hack-and-slash in 2024."
NVIDIA continues to add games to GeForce NOW. This week, Devil May Cry 5, Gears Tactics, and The Crew Motorfest lead the charge.
Do I have to watch it to know this is not DMC? I have a DMC3 poster in my room so I can never accept this "Dante" as the guy who fought Cerberus with a shit eating grin on his face.
Ninja Theory killed one of my favorite characters. And it's because they decided to take him serious.
They should have call this game differently..
EMO MAY CRY (EMC)
The more I see the more I'm beginning to accept this as a true sequel to the series. Dante actually looks much better than the first trailers. Combat seems good...only thing I don't like is his Devil Trigger. I thought he was supposed to turn in to a demon/angel...he looks the same with diff. color hair. that's all.
I want to play the game as I've liked all of NT previous games but it will never be a true DMC game to me...all they had to do was stay with the original story and I would of gladly excepted it but I hate the fact they changed it (and the fact theyre using the Unreal Engine so it'll run at a choppy 30FPS).
30FPS, textures pop-in, NinjaTheory flawed combat systems and stupid AI...
Plus Dante was born with white hair.
Check DMC1 please.
